1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a rare aggressive B-cell lymphoma subtype characterized by an adverse clinical outcome. EBV infection of lymphoma cells has been associated with different lymphoma subtypes while the precise role of EBV in lymphomagenesis and specific molecular characteristics of these lymphomas remain elusive. To further unravel the biology of EBV associated DLBCL, we present a comprehensive molecular analysis of overall 60 primary EBV positive (EBV+) DLBCLs using targeted sequencing of cancer candidate genes (CCGs) and genome-wide determination of recurrent somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) in 46 cases, respectively. Applying the LymphGen classifier 2.0, we found that less than 20% of primary EBV + DLBCLs correspond to one of the established molecular DLBCL subtypes underscoring the unique biology of this entity. We have identified recurrent mutations activating the oncogenic JAK-STAT and NOTCH pathways as well as frequent amplifications of 9p24.1 contributing to immune escape by PD-L1 overexpression. Our findings enable further functional preclinical and clinical studies exploring the therapeutic potential of targeting these aberrations in patients with EBV + DLBCL to improve outcome.
